As the new year kicks in, it's the ideal time to take control. Angus explained:
"It comes down to 2 really simple rules: don't be paying for stuff that you don't need, and don't be paying too much for the stuff that you do need. We're creatures of habit. We end up thinking 'I've got to pay for power' but we just stick with the same power company. You really lose out from that loyalty. It's always worth comparing and it's always worth shopping around."
The savings can be massive. Finder research shows refinancing a typical home loan can save $5,000 a year while the average car insurance purchaser could save up to $2,500 a year.
